Like so many films today, this one suffered horribly from PG-13 dilution
Bakshi should have done Cool World the same way he did Fritz the Cat, as a truly adult cartoon.
The studio undoubtedly butchered what would have been a far more interesting movie than the latter which was X-rated 20 years prior to this one's release.
